Default Bicycle Lock Boxes At the End of the Runway At Small Airports

No one wants lockers inside crowded terminals, however, it would be 100% safe to place Walmart style bicycle lock boxes away from public areas. That way a cyclist could pedal to a local airport, take the pannier off to check, lock up the bicycle and fly.

This way I don't have to pay 60 cents for bus fare and if the plane arrives late at night, I'll only have to eat an extra spud or so to get home.

Bait taken.
Installed and used for free of course.
No wonder cyclists have the reputation of being sponging ******s.

I think it is a good idea, since you know the owner will be away for a
good while there is a nice long time to steal the bicycles and resell
them before they are even missed and reported.

Bicycles are worth nothing, you can get them on freecycle.

No reason there couldn't be coin operated lockers.
